Its funny whenever I do these three movie reviews at a time they are always such radically different movies. Shrek Forever After Even though they said Shrek 3 was the final one, they came out with one more. I guess its hard ot turn off the gravy train. What can I say about this movie? […]

I saw Shutter Island at the dollar theater the other day (Of course tickets are $2, but “two dollar theater” is not nearly as catchy.) Shutter Island is Martin Scorsese’s psychological thriller starring Leonardo DiCaprio as a US Marshal investigating an escape from a mental facility for the criminally insane. It was pretty fascinating – […]

Erin and I had a impromptu date night on Saturday (thanks Grandma Becky!), and it seemed a no-brainer to do our usual dinner and a movie. It also seemed fitting if our date night movie was Date Night, the comedy starring two of our favorites Steve Carrell and Tina Fey. It did not disappoint, those […]

I watched Fourth Kind last night and found it disturbing. I have mentioned before my penchant for “true” stories and this one claims to be based on true studies by a psychologist in Alaska that basically prove alien abductions. Yeah, I know what your thinking. But the film has Milla Jovovich (who I love!) state […]

This was a really good film, perhaps as good or better then the Danish film it remakes. What I liked best about the storytelling is the the fact that while there is some tense conflict between the characters, there really is no bad guy. You understand, empathize, and ultimately pull for each of the characters. […]

I was hooked right away and every unexpected turn made the film more engaging. At times it became borderline exhilarating. Now, I am not saying everyone will like this movie, because clearly lots of folks may even find it disturbing. But if you like action, shoot-em ups with a very original story premise, then you’ll […]

I had no expectations of this film, which usually gives a movie a huge boost in the chances that I will give it a positive review. (Of course I enjoy movies so much, I rarely trash a whole movie – I seem to always find parts I enjoy.) Anyways, I found The Informant! hilarious and […]
